I wonder if he will be playing the original Sub-Zero or his younger brother. I guess the way both of them end up it really doesn't matter.

People do have to start somewhere, and the formula of writing/directing hit tv or small indy flicks before getting a big IP movie is a go to for a reason.
Well the original Mortal Kombat movie was Paul Andersons second directing gig... and it came out pretty good, especially for the time. One thing about people that dont have any track records, they have everything to prove and everything to lose. A well known director can have a huge stinker and still come back and be known for their hits rather than their misses. As long as these guys pay attention to the source material and dont take too many creative liberties as well as a cohesive story, it has the potential to dethrone the original MK movie as being objectively one of the best video game to movie adaptations.

Great casting, hopefully they continue the trend with good actors that knowmartial arts and not just A listactors, but people who will actually work well in fight scenes.Wonder who could play scorpion?Personaly Id like to see Terry Crews or Mike Colter as Jaxs andKatherine Winnick as Sonia BladeJessica Henwick (Coleen from Iron Fist), Karen Fuhukara (Katana from Suicide Squad) Tony Jaa (from Ong-Bak),Brian Tee (Noburo from The Wolverine), Rick Yune (from Toky Drift and Ninja Assassin) andLee Byung-Hun (Storm Shadow from Gi-Joe)would also be good fits for this movie

Its nowhere near as cheesy and as bad as Street Fighters movie and very very far from abysmal like its sequel MK Annihilation.. that movie was a trainwreck throughout and not in a campy so bad its good way.. I have to be drunk to even have any part in rewatching it.
I may have certain prejudice agains Paul WS Anderson, so I may be exaggerating in how terrible I think it is.

Not mindblowing by any means but definitely not garbage like EVERY other video game movie. And Detective Pikachu was pretty damn great even tho I dont care for pokemon or follow the mythos and all that.
